Wireless internet goes down when phone rings

Incorrect. B/G/N all use the 2.4GHz spectrum. The only wireless network standard which has gone mainstream that uses 5.8ghz is 802.11a, which supports decent speeds but short distance.

maybe not 5.8ghz as I mentioned but 5ghz... from wikipedia:

Deployment Strategies
To achieve maximum throughput a pure 802.11n 5 GHz network is recommended. The 5 GHz band has substantial capacity due to many non-overlapping radio channels and less radio interference as compared to the 2.4 GHz band.[3] An 802.11n-only network may be impractical for many users because the existing computer stock is predominantly 802.11b/g only. Replacement of incompatible WiFi cards or of entire laptop stock is necessary for older computers to operate on the network. Consequently, it may be more practical in the short term to operate a mixed 802.11b/g/n network until 802.11n hardware becomes more prevalent. In a mixed-mode system, it’s generally best to use a dual-radio access point and place the 802.11b/g traffic on the 2.4 GHz radio and the 802.11n traffic on the 5 GHz radio.[4]

i have 5.8 GHz phone and 2.4 GHz network. i use a dynamic dns and have no problems even though i have several computers up.

802.11n is nothing more than bonding on a previous standard. Almost every access point/router implementation of 802.11n is using the 2.4GHz spectrum because it's backward compatible with b/g and thus cheaper to make. You get much better throughput if you run 802.11n on the 5GHz spectrum but the range is significantly more limited. I've only see a couple of AP's that support the 5GHz range which we're quite expensive.

You can verify this statement by reading up on the 802.11n specification document or better yet, check out the summary provided by Cisco.
